Feel free to leave comments as always. Also, if you DO happen to have an Etsy site or other site (LJ or non-LJ, either way is fine) you'd like me to promote in my sidebar, please leave a comment with the link and any graphic you might want to use.
Enjoy!
Edited to add: I completely forgot Pagan and Heathen for the Religions! I thought of those while I was in the shower. Oops! Sorry guys. I really do know y'all better than I let on. I just forget. ;)
And: You guys... remind me I'm not allowed to create polls any more. I forgot about co-habitation and life partners as well (although in some states, married would work for that). I'm sure there's lots of other stuff I forgot.

First, a little explanation as to why I'm changing the options.
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
lindalee_ mentioned that using 00 in whatever name I select might lead to confusion, and she's very right. Ever since I've been using this name, there's always been a bit of confusion. I don't want to carry that over to a possible website or something for people to search since they might not realize they're zeros.I believe
pensivesea mentioned that Tiny Treasures is a little overused and she's very right. I was actually doing a search on it as she was typing her comment and I found a mess of sites all related to baby items or daycare and don't really want to have to compete with that (or run into legal issues with it, for that matter).Now, that out of the way, I suppose we'll be starting over here. I'm so anxious to get these ordered! I think my biggest problem right now is coming up with a cute logo. Any artist out there care to offer up any cute and adorable designs? :)

Which name would you suggest for tags for sewn items that might possibly be sold at some point?

Other (please take into consideration the points mentioned above) 0 (0.0%)
If you selected Other, please list your suggestion here.
Also, don't forget the Friending Frenzy! If your name is listed in the main entry, make sure you've added a comment about yourself. If your name is not listed in the main entry but you're interested in joining in the fun, let me know because there will be another round.
I need to do a post about a few Bzz campaigns I'm doing. I'll be giving away some coupons for free products if anyone is interested. I haven't decided if I want to do a trivia quiz or just a first comment first serve type of thing. I need to do it soon, though!
I have videos and pictures to post if I ever get around to it. We're either having issues with our router or our ISP and any pictures we host here cannot be seen by anyone else. It's becoming highly annoying.
winter_in_asia has posted an entry about no content in his journal for those of you upset by recent LJ changes. I know at least one or two people on my f-list are upset by this, so please take the time to check out his entry and join in if you wish. It might be a slow day for the Salmon.... Does anyone have ideas for other items I might be able to sew quickly and sell? Thanks to
msbluerasp, I've added zippered pouches and pincushions to my list of things to try. I'm guessing I could probably do placemats and napkins as well. I've also considered making simple purses of some sort. I'm really thinking about setting up an Etsy account and selling the bibs and all the stitch markers I've made so far, and was trying to come up with anything else I might want to add to the mix there.We'll be fish sitting this week for Thomas the Beta, our neighbor's fish. Exciting, no? I think it will be interesting for Sophie to see another fish other than the ones we have at least.
Okay, I think that's it for now.

Based on what I've seen from the suggestion box so far, for those of you who answer Yes, what I will do is make a list in a separate entry stating your name and possibly a line or two about why we're friends and asking you to write your own Self-Selling Ad in comments. For the rest of you (Nos, if you change your mind, this includes you), feel free to let me know if you'd like to be included. There will be a second entry for you. Otherwise, anyone can browse through the Comment-Ads.
Perhaps this will pull in people who read my journal yet refuse to get their own LJ account! ;)

Would you be interested in participating in some sort of match up in my LJ, where friends possibly make other friends?
If I were to do some sort of match up, how would be the best way to go about it? Should I use polls, spotlight those interested, invite people to post comment 'ads', or something else entirely?

Amazingly, I got most of my guesses right. There were a few questions where I recognized the story/image but didn't know the answer, and even fewer where I knew the answer spot on. Heh, the main reason I knew most of this stuff is because B passes it along.
